Chapter 6
Is it too late to change the totem guardian in Chapter 6?
"Old Mian... do you know about Little Mudskipper?"
Mo Fan stared intently at Lin Mian.
This is not Mo Fan making a mountain out of a molehill.
Although the little loach hanging around his neck looked inconspicuous, it was it that brought Mo Fan to the magical world.
Who would believe such a thing if I told them?
But Lin Mian specifically asked to borrow this item, which made him very uneasy.
Mo Fan guessed that Lin Mian must know something.
Lin Mian couldn't help but laugh at Mo Fan's possessive expression.
"Your thing is special; it's a vessel for the dead."
"But speaking of which, Mo Fan, have you ever heard of the Soul Vessel?"
Mo Fan shook his head.
He transmigrated here, and his nine years of compulsory magical education were practically meaningless.
With limited knowledge, I didn't know what a vessel for the dead was.
Before awakening, he didn't even know that lightning was the top element.
Lin Mian explained upon seeing this:
"A vessel for the dead is one that can absorb the remnants and essence of demons after they die. Your material is extraordinary, you little mudfish."
"I've known you for over a decade, so I'm certain that Little Mudfish is the vessel for the dead."
"I want to take it to hunt monsters in the wild. If it drops a spirit essence but we don't have a 'Soul Vessel,' then we'll be missing out on a fortune."
Lin Mian explained briefly, the gist of which was: having been in contact with Mo Fan for so long, he had come to see the extraordinary qualities of the little mudfish, and by using the little mudfish, he could make money better.
Of course, the little loach is indeed extraordinary; it can indeed absorb remnants of souls and essences.
However, Lin Mian did not reveal more about the little mudfish's identity to Mo Fan, such as that it was the soul of the Azure Dragon totem.
Lin Mian concealed the truth in order to avoid triggering a butterfly effect.
If Mo Fan were to tell him that the little mudfish was an incredible opportunity, something bad would definitely happen.
For example, Mo Fan attracted powerful enemies and brought about his own demise in order to obtain the Earthly Sacred Spring of Bo City and to find rare and precious materials that could enhance the little mudfish.
Therefore, Mo Fan needs to discover the true identity of the little mudfish on his own as his strength increases.
Mo Fan pondered for a moment, and after confirming the answer, his eyes hardened.
Lin Mian's words were reasonable and well-founded; even Mo Fan couldn't disbelieve his own brother.
Mo Fan was surprised that the little mudfish possessed the ability to be a vessel for the dead. It was truly remarkable!
You should know that these kinds of utensils are very expensive.
Then, Mo Fan simply picked the little loach off and tossed it to Lin Mian:
"Old Mian, we've known each other for so long, I'll lend it to you. If you manage to unleash your essence, just give me a little money."
Lin Mian took the little loach pendant and nodded.
The little mudfish was able to provide Mo Fan with the cultivation ability of a mortal-level stardust artifact, which he only acquired after consuming the stardust artifact issued by the school in the original work.
Currently, the little loach only has the function of absorbing remnants and essences, so borrowing it will not delay Mo Fan's cultivation.
As for why Mo Fan was able to master lightning magic in five months in the original story, it's because he possessed two souls.
It was only because of the two souls that he awakened two spells, and his cultivation speed was twice that of others.
At this moment, Mo Fan chuckled and said, "But speaking of which, Old Mian, once I master magic, can you take me with you when you hunt demons?"
Influenced by Lin Mian, Mo Fan also wanted to hunt demons to make money.
Lin Mian is strong and can provide protection.
Moreover, in Mo Fan's mind, demons shouldn't be that scary, they're about the same as wild wolves, so they shouldn't be scary.
If he makes money hunting monsters, he can buy a house.
His family sold their ancestral home to afford his education at Tianlan Magic High School.
This meant that Mo Jiaxing could only sleep in his sports car, and Ye Xinxia could only stay at her aunt Mo Qing's house.
Living under someone else's roof—these were all painful memories for Mo Fan.
Lin Mian glanced at Mo Fan, then at Zhang Xiaohou, who was fast asleep on the table, and said:
"Forget about the monkey. Mo Fan, you should master magic as soon as possible. Then we can hunt demons together and each get 70/30 of the spoils."
Lin Mianqi Mo Fansan.
Mo Fan is a great source of labor!
Having borrowed Mo Fan's things, he couldn't refuse.
"Alright, Lao Mian! Come on, let's do one more, then we'll go back to school."
The moonlight, like water, spilled into the alleys of the old town.
Lin Mian carried the unconscious Zhang Xiaohou back to the dormitory. Mo Fan fell asleep immediately after arriving at the dormitory.
Lin Mian, with his vast collection, neatly stacked the three envelopes he had received that day on the table.
Three million six hundred thousand is a huge sum of money for a high school student.
In the magical world, it wouldn't even be a fraction of a spirit seed.
However, buying some light-elemental spirit seed fragments to upgrade Mika to an advanced-stage servant should be enough.
Next, once Lin Mian's strength reaches the second level of the initial stage, he can go out to hunt demons in the wild.
Lin Mian's talent is an innate talent, and although he was not a victim, his cultivation speed is almost the same as flying a plane.
That is, their perception of elements is terrifyingly strong.
In addition, you only need to study one department, and both departments can be improved together!
……
Two months later.
Lin Mian arrived at the Bo City Hunter's Hall wearing a mask.
There are all sorts of commissions here.
Lin Mian's goal is to get better commissions, such as commissions to pick succubi in the wild.
Enchanting Grass is an ingredient used to make Enchanting Powder or other potions.
The scent of this herb fascinates demons, much like the aroma humans enjoy, and it only appears where demons congregate, hence its high price.
After accepting the commission to find a Demon Grass, Lin Mian planned to go to the wild alone to search for it.
"Brother Mo Mian, here to buy more goods again? I have some top-quality materials here, would you like to take a look?"
A burly man greeted Lin Mian with a smile.
However, he never knew that Mo Mian was Lin Mian's alias.
Having traveled through so many years, Lin Mian has some connections in the Hunter's Hall.
Having traveled through sixteen years, before awakening his magic, he can't just do nothing, live a life of idleness, and wait for his magic to awaken.
Lin Mian had already become familiar with the Demon Hunting Hall under other identities.
In other words, they would take the materials obtained by demon hunters after fighting with demons and then resell them.
It's important to know that not all time travelers are born with a protagonist's halo.
Lin Mian had met many self-important hunters, only to be awakened by the giant-eyed rat's urine.
Therefore, before Lin Mian awakened his magic, he worked very hard to find ways to make money and improve his knowledge.
However, from then on, Lin Mian no longer needed to be a middleman.
Lin Mian did not speak with the big man. Instead, he put the letter of commission in his pocket, left the Hunter's Hall, and walked alone into the wilderness.
"I didn't see wrong, did I? The businessman accepted the commission?" The big man rubbed his eyes.
He had definitely seen the letter of authorization in Lin Mian's hand just now!
Moreover, Lin Mian had no partner, which means he accepted the commission alone.
It's hard to believe that these hunters always take on commissions in groups.
The merchant transformed into a hunter.
I don't know if it's a newbie going to their death or someone suddenly becoming a master.
……
"Mika~"
Upon arriving at the Snow Peak Mountain Inn, Mika was summoned from the Summoning Dimension by Lin Mian.
"This time, we're counting on you to hunt monsters, Xiaomi."
Lin Mian patted Xiaomi's head and said.
The entire 3.6 million was used to buy light-type spirit seed fragments for Mika, which enabled Mika to reach the advanced stage of servant.
It won't be long before Mika evolves into Miriel and reaches the level of a Warrior.
I don't know if this job will be enough to make ends meet.
Xiaomi nodded comfortably, meaning she could leave it to me with confidence.
Lin Mian then looked at the little loach pendant hanging around his neck and smiled, saying:
"Little mudfish, Mo Fan doesn't know your true identity, but I do."
"You are the Azure Dragon, one of the sacred totems."
"Now you exist only as a soul; your Great Wall body cannot be awakened, and your blood from the Holy Spring is distributed throughout the world."
"It's incredibly difficult to return to my prime. Could you help me obtain some remnants and essences during this demon hunt? I'll definitely help you with anything I can in the future."
Mo Fan is the guardian of the Azure Dragon totem.
Lin Mian was afraid that Little Mudfish wouldn't help him later, so he said these words, hoping for Little Mudfish's reaction.
Upon hearing Lin Mian's words, the little loach immediately began to shake violently.
The little loach was so excited!
Heavenly Bodhisattva!
Finally, some kind-hearted people know its true identity!
That's right, it's not some dark, muddy loach; it's the Azure Dragon, one of the four sacred totems!
Lin Mian's words resonated deeply with Qinglong.
Is it too late to change to a different totem guardian?
